My family moved out of Wales when I was thirteen. I went to a new school. One of my subjects was French. Because I had never learned any French, my teacher told me to sit in the corner and write anything I was interested in. That’s the time I started writing, just for myself, and I’ve been writing ever since.
I have always loved BIG IDEAS, and so I enjoy writing fantastic stories. And I also write horror(恐怖的)stories. I think they are like the old fairytales(童话故事), and can teach you important things.
I am in my forties on the outside, twelve on the inside. I like rock music, Indian and Chinese food, and I enjoy drinking. I live in a small village with my wife Mary, ducks, cats, goats, hens and lots of rabbits. If you’d like to find out more about me and hope to buy my books, go to www.sbowkett.freeserve.co.uk.

I’m sure you all know how important recycling is. Recycling is that you take old things and turn them into new things. It sounds like magic. But it’s actually very scientific.
Material | The first thing you have to do is to collect items(物品) that can be recycled. Only certain materials can be recycled. These include things made out of paper, metal, glass and plastic. |
Daily things | Can you think of everyday items made of these materials? Soda cans are good example. They are made out of metal. Magazines and newspaper are made out of paper. So are milk boxes. Some bottles of juice are made out of glass. Bags and yogurt containers are made out of plastic. There are many things that can be recycled. |
Loop (循环) | These things are usually stamped with the recycling loop. It has 3 arrows that go in a triangular(三角形) circle. This shows that cycle(循环) continues. Items are thrown away but continue their lives as something else. |
Process (过程) | Let’s go back to the process of recycling. ①The items are put in a recycling bin. ②A truck carries the items to a recycling plant. ③The materials are separated and squashed(被压扁成) into square cubes. ④Companies buy and turn them into new products. |

Sometimes it seems that time is flying. Perhaps it doesn’t need to feel this way. Our experience of time can be possibly changed. By understanding the psychological(心理学的)processes behind our different experiences of time, we might be able to slow down time a little.
One basic law of psychological time is that time seems to slow down when we’re exposed(接触)to new environments and experiences. The law is caused by the relationship between our experience of time and the amount of information our minds process. The more information our minds take in, the slower time seems to pass.
It follows, then, that we have different experiences of time in different situations. In some situations, our life is full of new experiences. Our minds process a lot of information and time seems to slow down. In other situations, we have fewer new experiences and the world around us becomes more and more familiar(熟悉的). We become insensitive to our experience, which means we process less information, and time seems to speed up.
How can we slow down time? Here are two suggestions.
Firstly, since we know that familiarity makes time pass faster, we can expose ourselves to as many new experiences as possible. We can give ourselves new challenges, meet new people, and expose our minds to new information, hobbies and skills. This will increase the amount of information our minds process and expand(增加) our experience of time.
Secondly, and perhaps most effectively, we can give our whole attention to an experience to what we are seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling or hearing. This means living through our senses rather than through our thoughts. For example, on the way home, focus your attention outside of yourself, instead of thinking about the problems you have to deal with. Look at the sky, or at the buildings you pass, traveling among them. This open attitude to your experiences helps take in more information and also has a time-expanding effect.
To a certain degree, we can understand and control our experience of time passing. It’s possible for us to slow down time by expanding our experience of time.
16. According to the writer, we can expand our experience of time by ________.A.going to bed on time | B.traveling to new places |
C.having dinner as usual | D.printing the same materials |
A.Being familiar with the world around helps us get more information. |
B.Understanding psychological time makes life pass more quickly. |
C.We can take in more information by living through our senses. |
D.We should build a stronger relationship between time and us. |
A.People sense time differently in different situations. |
B.People can control time by using basic law of psychological time. |
C.How to slow down time by using basic law of psychological time. |
D.How to make people sense slow down time. |
A.不明智的 | B.敏感的 | C.感性的 | D.迟钝的 |
A.Slow Down Time | B.Only Time Will Tell |
C.Race Against Time | D.Time Will Not Come Twice |
